(informal) Allosexual and/or alloromantic; experiencing sexual and/or romantic attraction.

I would say that it'd help so much if the ace characters would be explicitly acknowledged by the creators, but this doesn't always fix things. In the case of Jughead Jones, his asexuality and aromanticism were explicitly stated, but that didn't stop people from completely disregarding it, to the point where most fanart and fanfiction of him makes him allo.
noun
(informal) One who is allosexual and/or alloromantic.
Then maybe asexuals wouldn't face negative responses ("You're a late bloomer" or You haven't met the right person" etc.) when they come out to allos.
Part of why I’m writing this essay is to tell allos we exist, to make them aware of our struggle and our pain.
